Overview
- The forum seeks a reset of BMC’s PR-led complaint handling with time-bound resolutions, independent oversight, a secure multilingual whistleblower portal, monthly reviews, annual audits, and a 24/7 helpline.
- It prioritises pedestrian safety with dedicated zones, safe crossings and universal accessibility, and urges criminal action against illegal hawkers and relocation of Aarey-linked stalls.
- To curb repeat road digging and potholes, it demands joint utility–citizen planning before concretisation, real-time defect reporting tied to contractor liability, and punitive action for substandard work.
- Mobility proposals include one app or smart card across BEST, Metro and suburban rail, AI-enabled traffic signals, enforcement of the parking policy, and real-time parking availability.
- Public health and environmental steps call for annual audits in civic hospitals, mental health centres, ward-wise air quality tracking, stricter construction dust and noise enforcement, transparent animal sterilisation, and mandatory asset disclosure for BMC officials, with candidates urged to endorse the non-partisan charter.
